Welcome!

We’re so honored that you’ve chosen to take a step towards freedom with us!

If you’re a young woman between the ages of 13 and 28 dealing with any number of life-controlling issues*, you’ve come to the right place. The application process is as follows:

Complete online questionnaire
Review questionnaire with Intake Coordinator
Gather medical and personal information
Phone interview
Application review
Home placement

The length of our application process varies by an applicant’s situation and commitment level. Applicants who demonstrate a high level of commitment have the potential to be placed more quickly into our program. Entry into a Mercy home depends on many variables, including space availability, age, demonstrated commitment, and medical stability.

*Life-controlling issues can include depression, anxiety, trauma, any sort of abuse, eating disorder, self-harm, any sort of addiction, unplanned pregnancy, sex trafficking, or any other issue that prevents you from living life whole.

All legal issues must be resolved before a young woman may become eligible for the program.
Our Intake Department handles admissions for all four homes in the United States.
